Answer:

The number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Choose a variable for the number.</u>

let the number be "x"

<u>Make an equation</u> with the information from the problem. Break down each part of the problem and change it to the algebraic form (numbers and symbols).

"When 8 is added to"               8 +  

"3 times a certain number"       3x

"the result is the same as"         =

"adding 12 to"                            12 +

"twice the number"                   2x

Put the equation back together with each of the parts.

8 + 3x = 12 + 2x

<u>Now isolate "x"</u> to the left side to find the number.

8 + 3x - 2x = 12 + 2x - 2x       Subtract 2x from both sides

8 + x = 12                           "x" is only on the left side

8 - 8 + x = 12 - 8                Subtract 8 from both sides

x = 4                             Solved for the number

Therefore the number is 4.

every fourth visitor to a museum gets a free bumper sticker every tent visitor to the museum gets a free keychain which visitor
ioda
The 20th visitor will be the first to get both the key chain and the bumper sticker, I found this out by finding the least common multiple, or LCM, you do this by writing out the multiples of both 4 and 10, 4 8 12 16 20..... and 10 20 30... then you find the smallest number that both 4 and 10 have in common. I hope this helps, sorry if it doesn't.
